Weapons
Athena's Blades (LV1)
Icarus Lift X, X Double-jumping is available as soon as you begin the game.
Olympic Ascension Hold Triangle Launches enemies into the air, and Kratos jumps along with them to allow for aerial combos or throws.
Orion's Harpoon O When an enemy is airborne, you can grab them with the O button and slam them into the ground.
Athena's Reverse L1 Tap L1 to parry a blow just before it lands.
Plume of Prometheus Square, Square, Triangle Two wide, sweeping strikes, followed by a ground slam that brings up an eruption of lava near where it hits.
(Lv2)
Rampage of the Furies L1 + O Delivers a lengthy combo that's mostly intended to strike one large opponent. You'll be locked into the combo when it starts, so you'll likely be hit by any enemies that manage to get behind you, or by your target if they're immune to stunning.
Rampage of the Furies (Air) L1 + O while jumping Automatic attack that spins your blades in a mostly vertical motion, letting you hit targets above your normal maximum jumping height.
(Lv3)
Cyclone of Chaos L1 + Square Another lengthy automated attack, albeit not quite as lengthy as Rampage of the Furies. This will swirl your blades around your body, hitting everything nearby multiple times. Works best against smaller enemies that can be stunned by damage; if your opponents don't get stunned (as in the case of cyclopes) then this will simply let them get a free attack on you. Still, for mass crowd control, this really can't be beat, and it'll also let you get some big hit counts when you have a lot of targets to hit.
Cyclone of Chaos (Air) L1 + Square while jumping. Lets loose with a circular spin-attack in midair that will hit nearby opponents around ten times. Can be used for taking out small flying opponents like imps. Also useful for darting attacks against enemies that can't be stunned, like stone golems or cyclopes; wait for them to complete an attack, then bust out one of these while they're recovering, then dash away before their next attack comes out. Since it's one of the quickest moves you have, and attacks all around you, it can also be useful for attacking walls while attempting to find weak spots.
Spirit of Hercules Triangle, Triangle, Triangle A mostly single-target attack that deals heavy damage and finishes with another jet of flame that will pop enemies into the air, assuming they're capable of going airborne.
Valor of Hercules Triangle, Triangle, Square Two over-the-head attacks, followed by a whipping attack from both sides that will repel enemies and knock them backwards. Can be useful for crowd control, but attempting to pull it off while surrounded by enemies can be difficult, as the first two attacks will leave you vulnerable to attacks from the side and the rear.
(Lv4)
Hyperion Charge Hold Square to run Doesn't do anything by itself, but sets up the following moves.
Hyperion Rush Tap Square while running Slams Kratos into any enemy in front of him.
Hyperion Rise Tap Triangle while running Will uppercut an enemy in front of Kratos, knocking them into the air.
Athena's Wrath While evading, hit Triangle Slams Kratos' blade into the ground at the end of a dodge, causing a jet of flame to travel along the ground.
Prometheus' Torment Hold Square while in Rage of the Titans mode Causes Kratos to continously whirl his blades around him while in Rage mode
(Lv5)
Tartarus Rage L1 + Triangle Smashes the blades into the ground in front of you, causing a large explosion and jetting foes up into the air.
Tartarus Rage (Air) L1 + Triangle while airborne This move can also be performed while airborne, but will cause additional whirling/slashing attacks in front of you before you land.
Prometheus' Inferno Hold L1 while in Rage of the Titans mode
Barbarian Hammer (Lv1)
Crushing Defeat L1 + Square You whirl the hammer around you while moving forward. Starts off slow, but gains speed as you move along. If you use this in a crowd, expect to get knocked around, since you won't be moving fast enough to avoid all incoming blows.
Might Of The King L1 + Triangle Slams the hammer into the ground, causing a sheet of flame to ripple along the floor there. Affected enemies will be damaged and launched into the air. You'll be vulnerable to attacks from the side and rear while performing this move.
Might Of The King (Air) L1 + Triangle while airborne The same as above, save performed in midair. In most cases, double jumping before doing this move is a wise idea, since you're less likely to get hit while in midair.
(Lv2)
Soul Summon Tap upwards on the right analog stick Sends out a tiny blue soul that will home in on nearby enemies. Does barely any damage, but can keep a weapon combo alive if you need to retreat.
(Lv3)
Legion Of Souls L1 + O Summons a large number of spirits that will attack nearby enemies up to 12 times. Enemies that can be knocked up into the air will have that affect applied to them, rendering them vulnerable to further attacks, but the spirits themselves do little damage.
Spear of Destiny (Lv1)
Deadly Slash L1 + Square Performs a sweeping attack that hits most enemies in a wide arc in front of and beside Kratos.
Piercing Shards L1 + Triangle Shoots a beam of weak icy projectiles in front of Kratos. This will penetrate the blocking actions of most small to medium-sized enemies, letting you follow through with more damage.
Piercing Shards (Air) L1 + Triangle while jumping Same as above, but fired in mid-air. These projectiles travel forward, not at the ground, so they'll only hit airborne or elevated enemies.
(Lv2)
Unfortunate Remains L1 + O Places an explosive shell on the ground in front of Kratos that explodes after a few seconds, damaging nearby enemies.
(Lv3)
Altering Slash L1 + Square Altering Slash supersedes Deadly Slash, and is performed in the same manner. When it strikes, though, enemies will turn purple and eventually explode, dealing damage to themselves and all nearby enemies, in addition to knocking them around. This can only affect one enemy per swing, though, generally the first one that gets hit. Any size enemy can be affected, as well.
Blade of Olympus(Lv1)
Divine Absolution L1 + Square Cheesy little slice and stab combo. There's no real need to lock yourself into this attack animation, since it really doesn't offer much to improve on the standard slashing attacks.
Divine Retribution L1 + Triangle Sends a beam of concentrated energy out towards an enemy. The animation is very quick compared to a lot of the other ranged attacks that the weapons offer.
(Lv2)
Divine Sacrifice L1 + O Drains red orbs from all enemies who comes nearby. Doesn't appear to cause any damage, or protect you from damage, and won't be of much use since you'll probably have already upgraded everything you actually want to by the time you can pay for this.
(Lv3)
Anger of the Gods Square or Triangle All of your attacks will cause a beam of energy to shoot from the tip of your weapon, causing damage to distant enemies.
Majic
Typhon's Bane(Lv1)
Wind Blast L2 + Square Hold L2 to lock on to an enemy, then tap square to fire gusts of wind at them to deal them damage.
Wind Blast (Air) L2 + Square while jumping You can also fire wind gusts while jumping.
(Lv2)
Rapid Fire Wind Blast L2 + Square Greatly increases the speed at which you can fire the bow.
Lethal Vortex L2 + Triangle Causes a whirlwind of...well, of wind, to speed along the ground, knocking enemies up into the air.
(Lv3)
Wind Blast (Charged) L2 + Hold Square Holding the square button before firing will charge your bow, allowing you to shoot multiple homing wind blasts which will hit targets more than once.
Titan Storm L2 + O Hitting O will cause a huge vortex of air to appear and damage enemies. Possibly the largest area-of-effect of any spell in the game, but there's a large mana requirement and it doesn't do a crazy amount of damage.
Lethal Vortex Upgrade L2 + Triangle Presumably deals more damage, and seems to move a bit quicker.
Cronos' Rage(Lv1)
Cronos' Rage L2 Places an electrical orb that will damage nearby enemies.
Cronos' Rage (Air) L2 Same as above, but in midair!
(Lv2)
Cronos' Rage L2 Same as above, but will hit more enemies at a time and will damage enemies across a larger area.
(Lv3)
Cronos' Rage L2 Hits more enemies, does more damage. At this level, the area where you stand when you hit L2 will also explode after a few seconds for extra damage and knockback effects.
Head of Euryale(Lv1)
Gorgon Stare L2 + Square Slowly turns an enemy to stone when aimed at them. Some enemies are immune.
Gorgon Stare (Air) L2 + Square Same as above, but performed in midair.
Gorgon Flash L2 + Triangle Uses more mana, but instantly stonifies most small enemies. Larger enemies will need more than one Flash, or a combination of Flash and Stare, to become petrified.
Gorgon Flash (Air) L2 + Triangle while jumping Same as above, but performed while jumping.
(Lv3)
Gorgon Stare Upgrade L2 + Square The Stare freezes enemies more quickly.
Gorgon Blast L2 + O Tapping O here will shoot out a bolt of petrification energy that can affect multiple opponents. Like Flash, though, larger enemies won't be frozen all the way. Basically a petrification grenade.
Gorgon Blast (Air) L2 + O while jumping Same as above, but performed while jumping.
Gorgon Rage L2 + Hold O and release. While holding L2, hold down the O button, and you'll see the snakes on Euryale's head begin to quiver. When you let go of O, any nearby enemies will be petrified (assuming they can be at all). This is more powerful than Flash and Blast, in that larger enemies will also be petrified instantly, but requires much more mana.
Atlas Quake(Lv1)
Trembling Earth L2 Smashes the ground, causing two hits to all nearby enemies and knocking them into the air.
Trembling Earth (Air) L2 while jumping Same as above, but performed in the air. Will cause you to drop to the ground and start the quake.
(Lv2)
Trembling Earth Upgrade L2 You hit the ground a few more times, causing more damage and knocking enemies around even more.
(Lv3)
Destructive Earth L2, Tap O When you start an earthquake with the L2 button, you can begin tapping the O button to cause more debris to fly up, dealing more damage to your opponents. Basically the same deal as Poseidon's Rage in the first game.
Destructive Earth (Air) L2 while airborne, Tap O when you hit the ground Same as above, but performed after you hit the ground when pressing L2 while airborne.
